Customer Review: Amazing Sensitivity
I’ve had my Legend HCx for about a week now. I upgraded from a standard eTrex Legend. It has amazing sensitivity for receiving signals. I can pick up 5 or so satellites inside my house and track my movements from room to room!

Functionality wise, it’s about the same as the model I replaced. I did add a 1 gig flash card and plan to pick up the topo dvd’s from garmin shortly. This unit rocks! Don’t hesitate to purchase it!
Customer Review: Finest Upgrade Available from Garmin
I won’t waste your time if you are a previous Garmin user. I upgraded from an EMap, bought in 2001, that has served quite well. However, after all that time there are features one desires that scream for an upgrade. Yes, the color screen, the USB capability, far larger (and commercially available) Micro SD Memory, improved maps all contribute to the many reasons to buy. This is the tops, absolutely.

However, I saw this was coming out about 6 months ago and I waited. Why? The “H” in “HCx” stands for high-sensitivity. From my EMap experiences, I knew that GPS units were very sensitive to signal. My old EMap literally had to sit on the dashboard of the car on road trips, sitting in the sun, and sometimes still losing satellites. Well, friend, that’s all over.

My HCx arrived today, and I opened the box, securing two AA batteries, and turned the unit on after about 45 seconds of perusing the Quick Start Guide. Sitting in a concrete building (dormitory, with a steel door, the HCx immediately began acquiring satellites and within mere seconds had found three…inside my little “bunker”. Impressed? You couldn’t wipe the grin off my face. I set a waypoint for Home - in the room - and then trudged over to work. Entering another concrete building, the signal strength was still fine and I set a waypoint at my desk. I marveled over the `track” I had wandered on the way to work, zooming in to 20 ft. resolution.

Friends, this is fantastic technology. The unit is small, comfortable to operate, feels solid, well-actuated controls and is far faster to acquire satellites than my expectations. Needless to say, it’s worth every penny. It fits in my shirt pocket, not a great deal larger than a pack of cigarettes, and it is the best thing I’ve spent money on since the thrill of buying a VIC-20 PC at K-Mart in 1985. And a lot of technology has been issued (and passed through my hands) since then. I admit it - I’m geek - I carry daily 3 phones, a digital camera and a Space Pen.

Buy this unit. Amazon’s price is current market price, so don’t feel compelled to shop - I did and it was a huge headache to attempt to save $20. Your time is worth far more - don’t delay another day. Hands-down, it is the one to buy, and you will be on cutting edge for several more years.

You will not be disappointed.
